Answers :

Hello,\015\012\015\0121. Last question first :No, there is no need to format all SD cards every time.\015\012\015\0122. Sometimes this happens. I mean sometimes there is a need to format the SD card. Because , may be you use it for other purpose with other electronic items. But if you use it for only taking pictures with your camera then there is no need to format it. When you use it with other instruments then it is better to format the card. \015\012\015\0123. You should use one recovery programs to save your pictures. After that you format your card, use it normally as you do before.
